ArOostook County Farm Notes

Aroostook County, the garden OF Maine,
never looked in better condition than it does
today. Two months ago, or about the Goth
OF April. the snow was so deep that moth
ing but the top rails of the fences could
be seen in the fields. In two weeks from
that time some of our farmers were sowing
grain. There was no frost in the ground,
and farmers were soon busily eng iged in
putting in crops of all kinds. Large areas
Of wheat, oats and other grains have been
sown.
The acreage of potatoes, which is the
great crop on our Aroostook farms, is
larger than ever before. There have been
shipped from this county to Boston and
| and other Western markets about 100000
bushels in the last Twelve months, aud we
can furnish 1,000,00 bushels for the next
year, unless there should be some unfore-
seen casualty. Potato bugs are plenty,
but Paris green, mixed with plaster and
| sprinkled on the tops, is sure remedy,
and our farmers are not afraid to use il.
Crops of all kinds are coming for
ward rapidly. Grass is forward, with
every prospect of a heavy crop of hay.
Stock of all kinds is doing we'll, mich
cows especially.

The rain during the night and forenoon
of July 9th, was most welcome, even
though it caused some interruption to the
beginning of the hay harvest in this sec.
ton. The extre me heat of the five or six
days preceding this rain, forced the grass
in surprising manner. and many farmers
said to us on July 9Th, that all grass need
ed cutting. This extremely rapid maturity
of the crop will be likely to result in much
poor quality of hay before the close OF the
harvest. as it will be several weeks before
the crop can all be secured, and ere that
time, unless rains intervene to keep the
ground wet, much over-ripe grass will be
cut. The result of which will be unusual
activity in the hay field until the work of
hayiDg is completed.

It is quite disheartening to read of the
severe drouth, furnishing of cattle and
prevalence of noxious insects and crop
pests in many sections OF the West. And
while these destructive visitations are not
the particular inheritance of any one To-
cality. it is cause for rejoicing that farmers
in Maine are enjoying so large degree
OF material comfort and prosperity
Think of Illinois farmers selling their
cattle at S5, $40 and SIS head-as re.
ported in the New York Tribune of July
2nd-because pastures have failed and
the promise of the winters supply OF
feed is limited. When has such an ex-
perience as this come to the farmers OF
Maine?

The Details of the Business

Writing on this subject to the California
Cackler, E. c. Clap gives excellent ad
vice as follows: Whatever business one
may choose to follow for life, there will
be more OF less detail connected with it,
and with some kinds of business much of
the success to be had in it depends on the
closeness with which the least detail is
carried out.
My experience has been thus far that
the chicken business is one of many de-
tails, and they need close following, too.
Perhaps this is one of the causes why so
many tail to stay in the business long !;
the detail is too much for them; they are
like some hens we see, about this time of
the year-they have laid goodly mum.
Der of eggs. and now think they would
like to rear family; trying them on
with the egg, we find that they stay on
few days and then quit. What forp Well,
that kind of work don't suit their nature :;
in other words. they would rather do
something else just then, and all is lost
The eggs put under them are neither eggs
or chickens for market purposes.
Unless person is willing to give at
tention to little things, and not only do
them once, but as many times as the occa-
sion may require, would not advise
them to take up poultry culture as a
means of support, tor if they do, it will be
but to fail.
Possibly some one may like to know
little of the detail from the starting
point.
l. Have on hand cash enough to make
good start, or enough so that you will
not have to let the fowls grow hungry
the'first year.
2. Provide good coops so that the fowls
can get under cover out of the sun and
storms, and at might, so they will not be
too many together, and also out of cur
rents OF air.
5. Provide a separate coop for each lit
tie brood of chicks, give them all the
room you can.
4. Keep all buildings for fowls well
covered with whitewash put on thick.
5. Guard against vermin of all kinds,
from Cinnamon down to the little red
mite, for they don't help the business on
the profit side, and vermin are thick on
this coast.
6. Look well to the feed box, for out OF
ness. Feed good clean feed, and just
enough to keep your fowls in good health
and flesh. Don't feed too often or too
much, and ieed in a clean box or trough.
Keep clean fresh water before your fowls
at all times. Spade up run ways. and
clean out droppings from roosts often in
fact. cleanliness is the golden rule of the
poultry yard.
z. Don't try to do too much and thus
fail to do anything, do little and do it
well. Don't keep fowls shut up in the

Co. operation in Practical Farminl

The seemingly correct thing now is for
each employer to admit his laborers to an
industrial partnership with himself by
giving them fixed share in the proflt OF
production, to be divided among them in
proportion to their earnings, at the end OF
the year. If this system proves beneficial
to the manufacturing class, would not a
kind of partnership between the agricul-
turalist and his help be equally valuable
The hired man would surely take more
interest in his work if he knew he was to
receive share of all increased profits.
Sill better, the farmers of community
might unite with appropriate bylaws and
own their land, machinery. tools and
teams in common.
The ordinary farmer does not. as rule,
feel warranted in buying the best machin-
ery. He finds that in order to make both
ends meet at the close of the year, he has
to do the best he can with the tools he has,
hoping that sometime he may be able to
purchase more serviceble implements.
Let him unite with his brother farmers and
we should see an improvement in his con-
dition. His house and out-buildings would
be painted so as to look more homelike !;
his children would be better clothed; his
fences would stand straighter: and every
thing about him would indicate prosperity
and happiness.
But you say that this scheme is imprac-
ticable that farmers are too independent !;
that they will not i've up the notions of
their fathers and that this system would
create selHshness and distrust. Such re.
marks were made when the cooperative
creamery idea was first promulgated.
The surest way TO prove the efficacy OF a
proposition is to give it a fair trial. Co.
operative agriculture is not impracticable.
Our farmers are passively allowing the
other departments of labor to step in
ahead of them and secure those benefits
which rightly belong to the tillers of the
soil. We see that unity OF action can only
be secured by organization. We have one
such organization in our midst,th the grange
whose ultimate object is mutual instruc-
ton and protection. We see further that
by CO. operation in buying and selling so
as to secure wholesale prices in purchases
and largely avoid commissions on sales.
much is saved to the farmer. The exac-
tons of the middlemen greatly diminish
profits, and it is for our interest to do
away with them as much as possible. We
see too that the farmers family would be
greatly benefited by some system OF CO.
operation that should do away with much
OF the drudgery that it is now necessary
to perform at home.-F. H. FOWLER IN
Neeo England Homestead.

Immediately following the hay harvest
is the best season of the year for applying
special grass fertilizers as top dressing.
The roots of the plants receive shock
from the rem oval of their tops, they are
exposed to the severe heat of mid sum-
mer sun, and in few weeks unless
favored by copious rains have dry and
lifeless appearance. The application of
from four to six hundred pounds of special
grass fertilizer in July or August. will
give a renewed appearance to the field,
and ensure vigorous growth of roots to
withstand the approaching winter. This
management of the grass fields is one
which good farmers are practicing more
and more each year, and its continuance
is the best recommendation for its worth.
Another method we would like to see
become more general among our farmers
is the autumn seeding to grass; and we
would like to see it become fixed system
in our farming because it would be
decided improvement. Heretofore where
it has been done it has been neglected
till too late in the season to make it a sue
cess. We do not mean fall seeding, as it
is generally called, but Summer seeding
would be better. If you have an old field
you propose to break up, pillow it as soon
as possible after the grass is taken off.
In some sections in Sagadahoc county
where farmers make general practice of
autumn seeding it is not uncommon to see
the mower and the pillow at work in the
same field during the same week. Espec-
tally if dull hay weather occurs the pillow
will be started while the work of the
mower is suspended. The grass seed
should be sown not later than from the
first to the middle of August, and if
possible seed just before or Immediately
after a rain. Then if an application OF
four to six hundred pounds of some grass
fertilizer is made, the grass will get a
good growth the present season, and a
heavy yield may be regarded as sure.
